Ardnacrusha Power Station

Looking for an exciting and informative experience?  Why not visit Ireland’s largest river hydroelectric scheme? Following the phenomenal interest in last year’s tours, Ardnacrusha Power Station will again open this summer. We are inviting school groups and the public to visit and explore one of Ireland’s greatest engineering developments at Ardnacrusha Power Station in Co Clare. Public tours are available from July 1st to September 13th 2019. Everyone is welcomed to the Ardnacrusha Experience at the newly refurbished visitors’ centre before going out on site to view the impressive headrace canal, locks and tailrace. Once inside the station, the living heritage of Shannon Scheme is brought to life through a series of animations which celebrate the history and impact of this iconic project. Visitors are given access to the very heart of the station with unique views of the turbine hall and a visit to the original control room. The guided tours can accommodate groups of up to 30 people and runs for approximately 90 minutes. For bookings and information, see: https://www.esb.ie
